我没有动第三碗，只就着一只葫芦里干净的凉水，把水果和蔬菜风卷残云地吃了下去。

"I keep these stocks as my security, my backup, " he says, looking down at the gourd casks filled with what I now realize are seeds.

The practice of carving and lighting the gourd is a Celtic custom brought to America by Irish immigrants, who used the more-plentiful turnip back home.

在葫芦上刻鬼脸并作为灯笼的习俗最早来自于凯尔特民族，由爱尔兰移民传至美国，而美国人更常用芜菁。
